Let me begin by saying, Bare Escentuals does not provide full coverage. Even if you use this concealer brush with Bare Minerals it is not the same as using a traditional concealer.

To review the brush itself, it is a good brush for concealer. The flattened shape with a curved tip making it good for applying concealer to regions of discoloration or the under eye area. I use a more precise brush for individual blemishes. It has soft synthetic bristles which keep it from absorbing the product and is gentle enough for the eye area. I have noticed some hairs lost -- generally with the swirl and tap method, so if you use it with a liquid or cream product it isn't a problem.

I think this is about the only decent brush from BE. It works very well at applying concealer. it isn't scratchy and rough. Why couldn't they get the other brushes right?

I find it surprising that so many people seem to like this brush. It works well at first, however, after some time the bristles become greasy and stick together - despite frequent washing! I was this brush at least once a week if not more often because of this odd greasy/sticky feel to the bristles but it doesn't really help. After a couple of uses, the bristles clump together again. I am sure it is not the product that I am using with it as I have used other brushes for the same products and this does not happen. Furthermore, the job that this brush does, does not justify its price.

If Bare Escentuals were to get a clue....this would be it.

I received this MU brush in my BE starter kit & it is the ONLY BE brush I would ever consider purchasing. It applies my concealer on smoothly & doesn't irritate sensitive areas (like under my eyes).

BE, if you're reading this.....I'm BEGGING you, please please please fix your other brushes!

This is THE only brush I like from BE. All BE brushes stink, they shed, they itch, they are scratchy and are an overall major money drain and disappointment. However, the exception to that is this concealer brush. It is great! It is the ONLY brush from BE that doesnt shed, it's soft yet sturdy for around the eyes coverage and it is a great size. I really like this brush. Now, if BE could only figure out the other brushes.

This concealer brush worked quite amazing when I used to use mineral concealers. The brush is perfect, not too soft and not too harsh on the face. Just the perfect amount of density which enables it to be used to create flawless looking complexions for problem areas. I absolutely love this concealer brush, though I don't use it as much as I did before since I don't use mineral concealers anymore but if I were to use it, I'd definitely reach over for this brush without a doubt. I haven't tried using a liquid concealer with this brush, it just doesn't seem like it would work out as well, but I can't justify that. All in all, this is a great brush compared to all the other Bare Escentuals brushes they produce which are not all that great.

I like the coverage I get with this brush, It worked well when I used bare minerals,

Its soft, surprisingly easy to clean (if you do it daily)

I like to use this brush to apply my under eye concealer and on the sides of my nose. I like a smaller, less flimsy? brush to cover up and spots I have

This concealer brush is awesome! It is the perfect size to get into smaller areas, but big enough to conceal larger areas. It doesn't shed on my, and I could not live without it!

YES!!

I have 6 of these which I rotate and use on clients. I use one and then clean and disinfect it as eye problems are very very catchy. If you are a MUA you need to have a few of these around as they are inexpensive for the quality you get. They are wide enough to spread product and very soft on the skin (I find most concealer brushes are too narrow).

Warm the product on your very clean hands and pick up with the brush for application.

Your clients will thank you !!

Honestly, I never owned another concealer brush, this is my first and only so far, and I'm loving it! The price was not bad at all since I got it on ebay for < $10. Without realizing it, I have been using this almost everyday. No matter if I use it with liquid, cream or powder concealers, this brush works great to achieve high coverage for my dark circles, aged spots and blemish around my chin. Normally I am not very satisfy with BE's brushes and I do own a few during my hype for mineral foundation. This is the only BE brush I use on a daily basis. Would highly recommend it!

I got this in my BE Get Started Kit. The concealer brush is high quality but I would not recommend using BE concealers. I purchased the Well-Rested for eyes and it did not do conceal my undereye discoloration and it accentuated fine lines I didn't even know I had! I will save this brush to use with my cream and liquid concealers though.

This is one of three BE face brushes that I cannot do without, the other two being the Maximum Coverage and the Full Flawless Application. This brush is great for picking up the concealer bisque and releasing it all onto my face. I use this to touch up blemish, though I admit that I have not used it under the eye much. It blends well, and washes well, too. This is definitely a must-have brush as well.

I bought the starter Bare Escentuals Kit from Sephora like 5 years ago after watching their products on QVC. I loved their minerals for a while and then I just stopped using them so much. In the kit was the Maximum Concealer Brush and I love it. It is so luxurious on my skin! I think this brush sold separately is like $20....very pricey. If you want a high quality brush that is still good 5 years later then it is worth it.

Of all the BE brushes this is my favorite. It's incredibly soft, flexible, perfect for packing on loose powder and providing amazing coverage. It's the best concealer brush I've tried period.

It does a good job at concealing my imperfections. I like the brush, it picks up just enough and blends well. Doesn't shed much.
